As far as I can tell, it turns out that IE7 doesn't follow the specification for this part of the XMLHttpRequest object (which admittedly is only a working draft). Because I was able to get the whole thing to work if I receive a response with a content-type of text/xml. My original response had a content-type of application/atom +xml, which according to the spec, should get evaluated since it ends in +xml. But that doesn't happen in IE7; it apparently requires the text/xml type for it to work.
Frustrating.
